I'm attempting to reinstall the battery....how in God's name do you do this with 2 hands? I'm fairly strong, but stretching this strap is making me feel like a 2 year old. Thanks, Nick |

Attach the strap and then slip the battery in. |

I just did mine last weekend. Start by connecting the rear part, then stretch it to get the front. Mine only took 2 tries, but I didn't have to put much muscle into it. |

Take a large screw drive, grind a notch into the tip. The insert the strap ring into the notch and use the leverage to put the ring onto the attachment point... |

I agree, I just did this and it is a pain, eventually got it with my own two hands, some adrenaline, and several tries. |

My battery is the size of two packs of cigarettes. No strap issues |

I left mine attached up front and just pushed the rubber end down over the metal piece in the back by hand. It was easy. |
